One of the primary reasons Ludwig is "The Most Famous Name On Drums" is the legendary Black Beauty Snare Drum. The drum is constructed of a single sheet of brass that is machine drawn into a seamless beaded shell. However, due to their truly unique and difficult manufacturing process, only a very limited number of Black Beauties are available each year from Ludwig USA.
A true American original, the Black Beauty provides a warm, round metallic tone that is often imitated, but never duplicated.
This Ludwig LB417K Black Beauty Snare Drum is a 6.5" x 14" model. It features a hammered shell, Imperial lugs, triple-flange hoops, P88 strainer, and a beautiful black finish.
